What Does This Post Cover?

- How to use the Assignment Element in Salesforce Flows


Use Case?

- Have you ever needed to assign a new value to an existing variable? YES?! Great - this use case was made just for you.


In this example:

We will be taking the assignment element and setting a new value (assigning) to an existing variable. Our made up business use case is the following: The account management team needs to be able to update the account with the client's favorite movie when needed. Create a solution that will allow the AM team to do this.


Since we have a video on this showing you step by step, this blog post will be primarily used to view the values we used in the video as a reference to rebuild.
